Well I guess I figured nobody is gonna wanna read my 4-5 gigantic posts in a row and I figured some one would just quit reading before they got to the important stuff. IE the part about the traces popping off.

Reading the title now, it sounds like my saturn is acting weird BECAUSE the traces popped off, which isnt the case.

But i guess i understand, you just seemed to be a tad rude, but maybe i took it the wrong way? :( Next time I'll be sure to batch my posts if they are semi related.

Either way. I fixed it. In case anyone cares. Read below.

On the specific subject of what to do if your traces decide to pop off, depending on which jumper pads are no longer usable, you just need to use the correct common point and and corresponding ground/+5v. So in my case I completely ruined jumper 7. To fix it I did this.

Use the color to correspond which jumpers I bridged.
RED = BAD/BROKEN TRACE
BLUE = BRIDGE

(5v)-(|)-6 (|)-(G)-7
(5v)-(|)-8 (|)-(G)-9
(5v)-(|)-10 (|)-(G)-11
(5v)-(|)-12 (|)-(G)-13

It may be a tad confusing to look at, but basically you need to bridge jumper 9s ground to the common point on jumper 6.
